Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th (Blu-Ray/DVD) - an exhaustive seven hour documentary on the entire Friday the 13th franchise. It's a shame that an early stab at covering the series ("His Name Was Jason", by some of the same people) recurs so frequently here - pre-existing interview footage is used liberally. However, even if you're familiar with HNWJ, you're in for a real treat (particularly with fresh interviews and rare clips). Based on the exceedingly excellent book of the same name by Peter M. Bracke.

Dick Figures The Movie:What's it about?Feature-length action-fest version of the online animation series about bumbling stick figures Red and Blue and their various cohorts. Pink's birthday is coming up and Blue wants to be the best boyfriend ever, so he needs to get her a great present and so, if he returns a special sword to The Racoon, he'll receive the ideal gift ... but booze-and-boob-obsessed so-called best buddy Red is coming along for the ride. All hell promptly breaks loose.Who would I recognise in it?Everyone you're familiar with from the original web series.Great/Good/Alright/Shite?Fans of the web show will be in hog's heaven. Epic action, impressive animation, laugh-out-loud silliness (from the gross to the utterly random), endlessly inventive asides, and a brisk pace make this well worth checking out. It's available to view on YouTube (in 12 parts), or to buy through services like iTunes, and coming soon on DVD/Blu-Ray. Scattergun, lewd, crude, hyperactive - but all in the best way. Good.

With gialli, you'd usually find a straight-razor-wielding
maniac running amok in and around the beautiful architecture of an Italian city
(often-times Rome), but Antonio (Cannibal Apocalypse)
Margheriti's Seven Deaths In The Cat's Eye (aka Cat's Murdering Eye)
stands out from the crowd with a Scottish setting in a coldly gothic castle.
It's as if the frenzied slew of 1970s giallo crashed head-first with a mist-wreathed
Hammer Horror Film.
